Ah, great stuff. Thank you very much.

Is there any way to style a particular subset of the paragraphs of the 
definition? Eg. for one definition I might want the first 4 paragraphs 
to all be encased in a box and/or have a certain background colour, 
while the next 2 paragraphs might be normal, then the next 3 paragraphs 
might be like the first 4.

(Basically, I want to distinguish quotations in my definitions from 
non-quotations.)

I can only get mid-line stylings of %this% sort %% to work.
